Miranda, I understand your frustration; my wife and I will have to upgrade
also, and storage is not a terribly huge issue for us. Getting siri,
however, is and makes it worth the price. All of our friends with iPhones
have it, and it makes many tasks much easier.

Hi,
As someone who has an 8GB iPhone 3GS and who plans to upgrade when the
option on my contract is available soon, I'm personally frustrated that I'll
probably end up needing to pay between $100-$200 just to get more memory
essentially. I do realize that the newer phones have many newer and greater
features, and this is great. But, it seems silly to me to upgrade to a newer
phone that will have the same amount of room as my 3GS, when my only issue
right now with my 3GS is my lack of storage space.
The problem for me is compounded by the fact that both my husband and I plan
to upgrade, so whatever we pay is multiplied by two.
Just my thoughts. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to bite the bullit. We're
not planning to go any higher than 16GB at this point though, because we
don't see ourselves needing more space than that.
In Christ, Miranda

Apple to retire iPhone 3GS with low-end 8GB iPhone 4S debuting at next
week's iPhone 5 event By Raymond Wong | BGR News - Thu, Sep 6, 2012
We already know that next week's September 12th Apple (AAPL) event will
bring the announcement of the iPhone 5, but rumor has it the 8GB iPhone
3GS will finally be retired. The Telegraph reports that sources close to
retailers say Apple will replace the entry-level iPhone 3GS with the 8GB
iPhone 4 and a new 8GB iPhone 4S to its lineup. Essentially, the 8GB
iPhone 4 will be offered free on contract as the 3GS has been, and the
8GB iPhone 4S will become a new mid-point offering. Naturally, the new
iPhone 5 will sit at the top of the totem pole and will come in
capacities of 16GB , 32GB and 64GB. It can be argued that the 3GS has
been a boon in emerging markets, especially because Apple will continue
to support it in iOS 6, but we think it's time to let the three-year-old
device go. After all, it is the only iPhone that still doesn't support
Retina display apps.
